Can't stay asleep.

[Bunty]

My laptop never gave this problem before, but when I close the lid down or click on sleep, it wakes up after 1 second. There is no way to keep it asleep, I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit. Any ideas on why this keep happening?

But on a more serious note sleep problems is really a process of elimination, if you click on the attached link Brink has put together a great tutorial that will walk you through the process.

Hope this helps. It is probably the best place to start.

Ok guys back to reality. Its a process that does not shut down completely.
The problem is to find which one. Go to start, type in event viewer and try to see what was the problem when your computer woke up. Ok guys my turn.. Do you live in a noisy neighborhood?

It seems to sleep fine when it is unplugged from the AC, but when it's plugged in, it wakes up right after.

Maybe you should use a surge protector, maybe it is erractic elec power surges.

Is there any other problem that cause it to not sleep when plugged in? I check my power plan, it's the same for when it runs on battery. This is a weird problem indeed.

There are probably other causes, but this is rare, to me it has to be cause by the electric power. You said the power plans are identical. Then it should work in the same way.

Just checked for sure, not a surge problem. It must be something else, this sucks! >.<

The work around is to just unplug it and put it to sleep and plug in after, but I want it back like normal. >.<

Bunty, have you tried step 4 in the tutorial i posted (this will give you a recent list of what has been waking your computer)

What usb devices do you have connected, you may have to unplug them one at a time to see if you can find the culptit

 

[mitchell64]

I have to go, but if you can find which device it is there maybee an option in Device Manager to disable it from wakeing your computer
I have used a mouse in this example;

This worked for me as well. I have an HP dv3-2155mx that came with Vista HP 64bit. I recently upgraded it to Windows 7 Ult 64bit. It worked fine but some issues with the display brightness caused me to reinstall the intel chipset drivers as well as install some HP applications for the quick launch buttons.. it was after all that when I noticed the machine did not stay asleep while on AC power. It would go to sleep then immediately wake up.

I tracked it down (using the instructions above) to a USB root device. the only thing I have plugged in to USB is my Logitech V450 wireless mouse receiver. First I unplugged the receiver and voila! it stayed asleep so I unchecked the box in device manger to "allow this device to wake the computer" and it seems to working fine.

Thanks for the info guys/gals.

So glad i found this thread.
i had the same issue, it worked before, but after bios update for my dv4-1190 it woke up 1 second after going to sleep.

i went to bios, no power management options there.
disable wake on lan in the network driver,
disabled all the networks all together - nothing.

then i saw this thread and i have a wireless Logitech mouse, went to its driver properties and unchecked "allow this device to wake up computer".

worked like a charm. great forum.

No satisfactory answers here; I have EXACTLY the same problem. Won't stay asleep for more than one second on AC power, sleeps fine unplugged. Just upgraded to Windows 7 yesterday. This is disappointing. Have gone through the entirety of Brink's tutorial on sleep problems to no avail. .
